Chapter 543 Friends
Li Yu is not ugly, he can even be said to be very beautiful.
She has exquisite facial features, fair and rosy skin, and although she is a little short, she looks more petite and cute. She is also very fleshy where she should be thin.
The only drawback is that the legs are slightly thick.
This is because she practices leg skills, which is impossible without muscles.
"What are you laughing at?"
He suppressed his shy inquiry, but failed to get a satisfactory answer. Instead, he made others laugh, which made Li Yu unable to help but burst into anger and clenched his fists:
"Could you please give me a nice word for the person named Zhou?"
"Sorry."
Zhou Yi suppressed his smile and said:
"I'm sorry, but Miss Li has a wide circle of friends. Isn't there no candidate? She actually found Zhou?"
"Hmph!"
Li Yu hummed:
"I know a lot of people, but all of them are either deadbeats or unwilling to make progress. If you marry someone, you may not have a good life. Instead, you will become a bitter wife."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Yi and slowed down his voice:
"Although you are not good-looking, your character is quite good, and you are neither greedy nor lustful. If you get married, at least you don't have to worry about being offended."
There was something she didn't say.
The more important reason for choosing Zhou Yi is that he has a low status and is easy to control. Unlike other children from rich families, he will never be obedient.
Li Yu is petite but has a tough temper.
She also knows her character and cannot stand resentment. In this case, it is better to find an obedient, honest and potential husband by her side.
After choosing over and over again, I thought of Zhou Yi.
"That's it."
Zhou Yi understood and then shook his head:
"Thank you Miss Li for your support, but forget it."
"Why?"
Li Yu frowned, looking puzzled:
"I know that you are interested in martial arts, but the rich in martial arts have always been like this. If you marry me, you don't have to worry about the supplies you need to practice martial arts in the future."
"This is good for you and me!"
These words,
Very familiar.
Zhou Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the scene more than two years ago. He paused and said:
"I'm sorry, in Zhou's heart, marriage is a major matter that cannot be taken care of. We need to be happy with each other. How can we live together?"
"I can't accept Miss Li's proposal."
"You..."
Li Yu's eyes widened, looking at Zhou Yi who was dull, honest, and always remembered as a bumpkin in front of him, he couldn't help but said:
"How old are you and still so naive?"
"Marriage is the order of parents and the words of a matchmaker. How many people can get married because of love? Childhood sweethearts guess that this is all a trick of storytellers to deceive people!"
"Maybe you are right." Zhou Yi nodded:
"But I have made up my mind. If I can't find the person I like, I would rather stay alone. Besides, it's good to be alone. Why do I need to find another burden?"
He looked sincere, which made Li Yu speechless.
"Stupid!"
"You don't even look at yourself in the mirror. Do you still want to find someone you like? It's a dream!"
Burning with anger, she couldn't help but said angrily:
"I don't know how to praise!"
Yinluo slapped him directly.
"Crack!"
Zhou Yi raised his hand and collided with his palms. He remained motionless, while Li Yu couldn't help but take a few steps back before stopping.
"Miss Li respects herself."
His face darkened, Zhou Yi said coldly:
"Don't think that because you are a woman, I won't hit you!"
"You..."
Li Yu raised his neck and looked into the other person's cold and ruthless eyes. He couldn't help but feel guilty. He subconsciously backed away, then turned around and left with a wave of his sleeves:
"My surname is Zhou, I remember you!"
"Don't worry about it." Zhou Yi shrugged:
"The person I like is definitely not a girl with a bad temper."
Li Yu twisted his feet, turned around, glared at him bitterly, and left angrily.
Watching the other person move away until his back disappeared, Zhou Yi turned around and looked at a viburnum tree not far away, and said calmly:
"Have you seen enough?"
"Hey!"
A sigh came from behind the tree:
"Brother Zhou, a man needs pity, why should he make a beautiful woman sad?"
"I'm different from you." Looking at the incoming person, Zhou Yi shook his head:
"The person who is attracted to you probably really likes you. If you don't hate me, you will be satisfied. Any marriage should be treated as a business."
"Since it is a sale, there are naturally cases where the transaction cannot be concluded."
"You are so heartless." Liu Mengyan sighed softly and walked over with his hands behind his back:
"In my opinion, the girl just now may not have any feelings for you, but she can't say it because of her face. It's a pity that this kind of friendship was driven away by your slap."
"Brother Liu is quite a sweetheart." Zhou Yi said:
"It's a pity that Zhou has no interest in spending time with others. If he has this time to waste, he might as well practice Dingyang Zhuan more and increase his cultivation."
"I'm afraid it's not that you're not interested, but that you haven't met the person you're waiting for." Liu Mengyan taught his experience as a veteran:
"Love is the most mysterious word. Once love begins, the whole world seems to have changed, and your stone heart will blossom."
As he spoke, he lightly pointed at Zhou Yi's chest.
"Don't rush into practicing Qigong. Sometimes it is more beneficial to take it slow."
"Well..."
Zhou Yi’s eyes moved slightly:
"It seems that Brother Liu has made a breakthrough?"
"Yeah."
Liu Mengyan nodded, with a little complacency on his face:
"In the past two months, I was watching the river water at night on the bank of Kunting River, and I felt something in my heart. The true energy in my body was generated by myself. Now I can be considered successful in my cultivation."
"Zheng!"
He raised his hand gently, without any pretense, and the long sword at his waist popped out of the scabbard and fell into his palm, with a soft sound from the sword.
"Infuriating." Zhou Yi watched the other party's movements and couldn't help but asked curiously:
"What's the difference from before?"
"What a difference!"
Liu Mengyan holds the sword in his hand, stroking the blade with one hand:
"With true energy, I can fully display the subtle prescriptions of my Shuiyun Sword Technique. No wonder some of my previous moves always felt a little weird when used."
"Brother Zhou, look!"
"Bah..."
The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and at the tip of the sword, a sword energy shot out of the air, leaving shallow sword marks on the hard bluestone ground.
Sword marks,
One foot long!
How can a person who cultivates true energy have such power with just a wave of his hand?
"Drink!"
Liu Mengyan drank softly, and the sword energy spread across the field instantly, as if there were ripples of water in the area several feet away. It seemed gentle but was actually murderous.
Even a marrow refining warrior would be seriously injured if he got close.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the sword energy gathered, the bright light flashed and he had already arrived in front of a mountain rock. The sword moves were simple and direct, but extremely sharp and swift.
The sharp sword blade pierced the mountain rock, almost within a few feet.
"Peng!"
A terrifying power burst out from the sword body, and the mountain rock half a man's height exploded, and countless broken stones were shot out like crossbows.
Liu Mengyan sheathed her sword, exhaled lightly, wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned around to look:
"How?"
"Awesome!" Zhou Yi looked solemn:
"The sword energy is vertical and horizontal, and the hardness and softness change. It is difficult for three or five marrow-refined warriors to get close. He is worthy of being a first-class master in the world."
"Especially the last sword, splitting rocks and collapsing mountains, it's almost impossible for humans to do it!"
Refining the body, refining the body, until the body is finally a mortal body, even if the energy and blood are as strong as a giant bear, it is difficult to resist the mountains and rocks.
Marrow refining warrior,
They can also be hacked to death by ordinary people with swords.
And cultivating true energy seems to have escaped the realm of the mortal body.
"Hey..." Liu Mengyan shook his head:
"My true energy is weak, and I only have this for a few moments. When my true energy is exhausted, I will be no different from an ordinary marrow refining warrior."
"In fact, true energy is achieved, but the improvement of strength is secondary."
He turned the sword upside down and said:
"Zhenqi is the convergence of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. It is extremely magical and can extend life, heal injuries, and strengthen the body. It is almost omnipotent."
"According to Brother Zhou, after cultivating the true energy, you can continue to temper the physical body with the help of the true energy, making the mortal body stronger. However, once the true energy is exhausted, without the blessing of the true energy, the strength will also be reduced sharply, unless it is innate Only a master can keep the true energy alive.”
"No wonder!" Zhou Yi understood:
"It is widely rumored in the world that the first-class masters of siege and killing should take human lives to consume the opponent's true energy, and then take advantage of the opportunity to take human lives."
"Not bad." Liu Mengyan nodded:
"Another point is that after the body of a body-refining warrior is finalized after the age of thirty, it is almost difficult to increase the cultivation level. Even with the help of medicine, the limit is reached at forty."
"Afterwards, the strength will become weaker and weaker with old age and strength."
"It's different after you have cultivated Zhenqi. The older you are, the stronger the Zhenqi in your body is, so you can often hear that old people who are dozens of years old can still play with the world."
"That's it." Zhou Yi looked envious:
"Brother Liu is less than 20 years old and has already cultivated his true energy. In time, it will not be difficult to become a martial arts master. I would like to congratulate you in advance."
"Just kidding." Liu Mengyan put away his sword and waved his hand:
"There are not many Lin family members who have cultivated their true qi in their teens. Only the head of the family has been able to achieve innateness for decades. You can imagine how difficult it is."
"It's you, how are you?"
"Luckily." Zhou Yi said with a smile:
"I just refining my internal organs not long ago."
Hearing this, Liu Mengyan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He scoffed at this. Zhou Yi might not have refined his marrow yet, but he definitely couldn't have just refined his internal organs. There was no doubt about this.
"Not bad."
Following the words, he nodded:
"Twenty-year-old Zang refining should have no problem refining marrow in the future. No wonder that girl just now was willing to put up with your boring temper."
"Huh?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white bird flew from above, landed on Liu Mengyan's shoulder, and lowered its head to comb its feathers.
This is a messenger bird.
Taking off the letterhead and unfolding it, Liu Mengyan couldn't help but frown.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhou Yi spoke:
"If you have something to do, you should be busy first and we can talk about it later."
"This..." Liu Mengyan looked hesitant, as if he was a little unsure about paying attention:
"There is indeed something going on, but I don't know if I should go."
"..."
Zhou Yi said nothing.
He never takes the initiative to cause trouble for himself.
"It's Miss Second." But Liu Mengyan obviously didn't intend to let him go. He held the letter in hand and whispered to his only friend:
"She asked me alone to meet at Moon Moon Lake later in the evening. Do you think I should go?"
"Uh..." Zhou Yi stroked his forehead:
"If you ask me about this kind of thing, I'm afraid I'm blind."
"I really don't know what to do." Liu Mengyan smiled bitterly:
"Yunying seems to have misunderstood our relationship. I have always treated her as my sister, but she doesn't seem to think so."
"What I like..."
"It's the eldest lady, and the eldest lady also expressed her feelings."
"Brother Liu." Zhou Yi looked surprised, couldn't help but cup his hands, and said sincerely:
"Admire!"
Liu Mengyan has outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament. He has charmed countless little maids as soon as he entered the Lin family. Unexpectedly, even the eldest and second young ladies have been tricked one after another.
This kind of ability, in his opinion, is more powerful than martial arts talent.
"Don't say sarcastic words yet."
Liu Mengyan shook his head:
"I regard you as a friend, and I won't hide this from you. Please help me think about it, should I go or not?"
"I won't go of course." Zhou Yi said.
"Why?" Liu Mengyan frowned:
"Is it possible that Brother Zhou also thinks that Liu, a mere guard, is not worthy of Miss Lin's family? Sometimes it is really difficult to break the feud."
He seemed sad about it too.
"That's not true."
Zhou Yi shook his head:
"Second Miss Yunying is not married. If you don't have this intention, meeting her privately would ruin her reputation. It would be very inappropriate."
"But..." Liu Mengyan hesitated:
"How do I explain this?"
"If there's anything difficult to explain, just tell me." Zhou Yi was speechless:
"Even the second lady dares to speak her mind frankly. As a grown man, what can you be embarrassed about?"
"I don't understand emotional matters, but I know that being secretive is not good for the eldest lady, the second lady, or you."
"..."
Liu Mengyan's eyes were stunned, and he nodded slowly for a long time:
"I understand."
He didn't know what he understood, but he saw a flash of cold light, and the tip of the sword was already pressed against Zhou Yi's forehead.
"Ding!"
In front of the sword tip, a long knife suddenly appeared.
The light of the sword flashed, and the shadows of swords in the sky roared down like a torrential rain, almost covering the entire place in an instant, and a sense of chilling filled the air.
Thirteen styles of chasing the wind!
quick!
Extremely fast!
This sword technique is already perfect in Zhou Yi's hands.
On the basis of the original sword technique of the Perfect Realm, the power of the sword is increased by 9% and the speed of the sword is increased by 20%, making it faster and faster.
"Okay!"
Liu Mengyan shouted in his mouth, the long sword rotated around him, and the sword energy roared out:
"Brother Zhou, your sword skills have improved every time I see you. How do you do that?"
"Without a woman in my heart, I draw my sword to the gods of nature."
Zhou Yi shouted in a low voice, his body flashed, and while avoiding the oncoming sword energy, he made a sharp slash with his sword, directly exploiting the flaw in the opponent's swordsmanship:
"You can try."
"No need."
Liu Mengyan shook his head, stepped forward, and stepped back more than three feet. He touched the wall again, jumped up and landed outside the wall. Only the sound came:
"Brother Zhou should keep this method to himself!"
"Huh..."
Zhou Yi sheathes his sword. He has neither true energy nor top-notch body skills. He cannot be as free and elegant as the other party. He can only sigh with hope:
"I think you are reluctant to let go of the eldest lady."
He shook his head, put away his knife and left.
far away.
In an attic.
A beautiful woman looked back.
"Interesting." She murmured:
"Liu Mengyan, is this the man that Yun Liu likes? He is quite talented. His talent and character are acceptable, but he is just too young."
"Another one..."
"His name is Zhou Yi." A hoarse voice sounded:
"Miss, do you need to investigate?"
"No need." The beautiful woman lowered her eyebrows:
"The married girl threw away the water. I am no longer a member of the Lin family, and this young man...is very much like my father."
"Master?" The hoarse voice sank subconsciously:
"Miss, did you say you have a talent for martial arts?"
"It's not a talent." The beautiful woman said:
"It's the heart."

"Come!"
It has been several years since Zhou Yi joined the nursing team.
Chen Tou has become older, and gray hair can be seen on his temples every year. Today, he looked excited. He pulled Zhou Yi out in front of everyone and shouted:
"Zhou Yi, twenty years old, has just advanced to Zang refining!"
"Wow..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the audience changed. Some were surprised, some were envious, and jealousy was inevitable.
Especially Li Yu, who had just separated, her beautiful eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face.
‘Well, Zhou Yi, it turns out that you are already a Zang-refining warrior. No wonder you look down on me. Didn’t this young lady just humiliate herself? ’
As her thoughts rolled around, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"Twenty-year-old Lian Zang is a top talent no matter where he is placed."
Chen Tou's face was red and he said:
"I have reported this matter. Zhou Yi should be picked up from the mountain after a while, but before that he still needs to stay with us. His status as a low-level nursing home is definitely not suitable."
"Just right."
He looked at the person next to him and said:
"Old Zhang, you need a deputy over there. Let Zhou Yi follow you first and talk about it later."
"Ah!"
Lao Zhang's expression changed slightly:
"Should we discuss the deputy's matter again?"
"It's not necessary." Chen Tou waved his hand and lowered his voice and said:
"I know you want your son to come up, but he is young after all, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. At this time, let Zhou Yi take over for a while, and your son can come up after Zhou Yi leaves."
"Kill two birds with one stone!"
"This..." Lao Zhang's eyes flickered and he nodded slowly:
"That's what Mr. Chen said."
…………
night.
Zhang Xian sat on the chair with an expressionless expression, looking thoughtful.
"Dad."
Zhang Guan’s expression was distorted:
"Just give up the deputy's job?"
"Otherwise?" Zhang Xian tilted his head:
"I have told you to work hard, not to refine the internal organs, but to have an explanation for completing the skin refinement, but look at yourself!"
Zhang Guan paused and couldn't help but lower his head.
"It's just temporary."
Zhang Xian took a deep breath and said:
"Be careful during this period and wait until the person named Zhou is gone."
"But..." Zhang Guan said:
"They are urging me to move around all the time, and it is not certain when Zhou will leave. What if he stops leaving?"
"Dad!"
His face was anxious and he said:
"I'm not thinking about myself, but once this happens, our entire Zhang family will be ruined. We can't let Zhou Yi interfere under any circumstances."
"Well..." Zhang Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice:
"Don't worry."
"Zhou Yi, you won't be here long!"
"Ah!"
Zhang Guan was stunned and looked up. (End of chapter)
